More quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Die in obeying commands like a soldier, and go to Nirvana, but no cowardice.
Swami Vivekananda
Every act of charity, every thought of sympathy, every action of help, every good deed, is taking so much of self-importance away from our little selves and making us think of ourselves as the lowest and the least, and, therefore, it is all good. Here we find that Jnâna, Bhakti, and Karma - all come to one point.
Swami Vivekananda
Each nation has an identity and destiny. As far as Bharat is concerned, Hindu is its identity and religion is its way of working
Swami Vivekananda
Science and religion will meet and shake hands.
Swami Vivekananda
The essence of Vedanta is that there is but one Being and that every soul is that Being in full, not a part of that Being.
Swami Vivekananda
Om is the greatest, meaning the Absolute.
Swami Vivekananda
All these ideas such as astrology, although there may be a grain of truth in them, should be avoided.
Swami Vivekananda
If money help a man to do good to others, it is of some value but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
Swami Vivekananda
If you really want the good of others, the whole universe may stand against you and cannot hurt you. It must crumble before your power of the Lord Himself in you if you are sincere and really unselfish.
Swami Vivekananda
Change is the nature of all objective things.
Swami Vivekananda
Evil company is always to be shunned because it leads to lust and anger, illusion, forgetfulness of the goal, destruction of the will (lack of perseverance), and destruction of everything. (Narada Bhakti Sutra)
Swami Vivekananda
Yes, the words of the Mother can be heard as clearly as we hear one another. But one requires a fine nerve to hear Mother's words.
Swami Vivekananda
It is not God's fault. It is our fault that we suffer. Whatever we sow we reap.
Swami Vivekananda
I want to start two institutions, one in Madras and one in Calcutta, to carry out my plan and that plan briefly is to bring the Vedantic ideals into the everyday practical life of the saint or the sinner, of the sage or the ignoramus, of the Brahmin or the Pariah.
Swami Vivekananda
Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds.
Swami Vivekananda
Hindus believe in God positively. Buddhism does not try to know whether He is or not.
Swami Vivekananda
This external worship of images has, however, been described in all our Shastras as the lowest of all the low forms of worship. But that does not mean that it is a wrong thing to do.
Swami Vivekananda
There cannot be any form unless it is the result of force and matter and all combinations must dissolve.
Swami Vivekananda
The wave is the same thing as the water, the effect is the cause in another form
Swami Vivekananda
Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.
Swami Vivekananda
